Red Velvet Cupcakes from Hummingbird Bakery book

Watch these carefully as they catch easily in the oven. Mixture calls for cream cheese frosting. I don't like to add too much icing sugar or butter - like the tang of the cream cheese next to the sweet sponge flavour. Crumble you worst looking bun over the top to make your buns look extra pretty!

A twist on Nigella's 'prodigious pavlova' with added white chocolate and raspberries - delish!

Can't beat Nigella for a pavlova recipe... they always come out a treat. Excellent with passionfruit or any tart fruit. Always remember to leave the pav in the oven with the door open when cooling down to avoid big cracks.
